"Well, there's a shaft over there and there is a rope." Duo said pointing to a drafty wooden box shaped hole on the wall.
"Well come on' we only have about 12 minutes left." Quatre replied as he walked towards the shaft.
"But it seems unstable." Duo said reluctantly.
"Come on, don't be chicken and lets go." Quatre replied as he stepped onto it and inspecting the inside.
"Fine, but I'm not pulling us up, my hands still hurt." Duo said as he walked towards the shaft and stepped onto it.
"Ok, Ok, I'll do it." Quatre said as he closed the two doors shaped things and closed it with a little hatchet. He took a pair of white gloves out of his pocket and put them on. Duo watched him bug-eyed.
"You had gloves and you didn't even tell me?" asked Duo shocked and pretended to be hurt by putting on totally fake puppy eyes.
"I bring my gloves with me everywhere, you may never know when I would need to pilot Sandrock and I don't know what those workers have been touching before they lay their hands on my precious Sandrock." Quatre told the American.
"Well ya could have told me so that way I wouldn't have hands the color of fruit juice. Now get goin and pull us up." Duo replied back to the pilot of Sandrock.
"Ok." And Quatre started tugging on the ropes.
'Creeeeeek'
'Creeeeeek'
'Creeeeeek'
Went the old shaft as it went up.
"Man, this thing is old." Duo said after a couple of moments listening to the screeching sound.
"According to this, it was made A.C. 198. I guess they did really good things to make it seem 'old'" Quatre replied after he read the little label connected to the rope.
"Damn, Noin went through a lot of work just to make a practically new shaft seem old." Duo replied.
'Thunk'
"We're here." Duo said as he quickly opened the doors and jumped out.
"Yes, and here's the door." Quatre said as he pointed to a door with a shiny doorknob. On the door was a post it (they still have them?!) that read,
Welcome Gundam Pilots 2 & 4, brace yourselves for a joyous ride.
"So behind this door Relena and Heero are there?" asked Duo.
"Well, we have like about a 2 minutes left, I guess so. "Quare replied. He put his hand on the door and turned it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Welcome Gundam Pilots 2 and 4, you are here to witness the dynasty of a new beginning. Without this lowly selfish inconsiderate bitch, we will have a real peace, one that is not based on false ideals of a little girl." Noin announced.
Before Duo and Quatre was a large platform. Noin was in the center of it speaking through a microphone. Next to her was Relena and Heero bound and gagged back to back on a chair.
"Now don't act surprised, in the notes I said that I was going to do this and I always keep my promises. Well, I didn't expect you here so soon. But knowing you two, I shouldn't be shocked." Noin said as she walked down the platform after petting Heero and Relena on the head.
"Noin, what is the real reason why you did this Relena?" asked Duo as he watched Quatre walk behind him towards the other side of the platform.
"You should know not to try to fool me Mr. Winner." Noin said as she took a hidden sword (?) and pointed it right at Quatre's nose.
"One more step, and I shall slit you from nose, to navel, so I suggest that you trot right back behind your fellow friend and I'll let you live to see the deaths of the Perfect Soldier and the Peacecraft Princess." Noin laughed evilly to herself.
"Why are you doing this? Relena never hurt you; she loved you like a sister. And her brother Milliardo, he trusted you with her life." Quatre said looking at Relena with pity.
"And Heero, well, well, what kind of reason do you have to kill him?" asked Duo, kind of thinking why Noin would kill him.
"Well, I know that Relena dose love me like a sister, practically a mother. But this is for the best, and well Heero. Well, I would be kind enough to let her die with her true love." Replied.
"Not so fast." A monotone voice said. Qautre and Duo turned around and saw Heero. He was untied and was now trying to help Relena out of the rope too.
"I knew that you would escape from those ropes, I didn't even try to tie you up. Girl Scout's Honor." Noin said smiling slyly.
"Why?" asked Duo as Heero pulled Relena up.
"Simple of course, you see surrounding that platform is an invisible electric shield. And if you touch it, you're burned to a crisp." Noin replied as she got out a little dark violet remote with a baby blue button with a yellow happy face on it (I get tired of the boring red button, don't you?) and pressed it. Automatically a buzzing sound could be heard, but the source of it was no where to be found.
"Heero, what are you going to do?" Duo pissed over to Heero while Noin kept on laughing evilly.
"I don't know what to do with Relena. She's still bleeding and if she doesn't get to a hospital soon, she'll fall into a coma, or worse....." Heero stopped to look at the girl in his arms who was sighing slowly and eyes threatened to close.
"Well how do we get her out of here, you guys are behind the barrior." Qautre reminded him.
"Well, I was looking at a fly and it flew above come air and it didn't burn. So I want you guys to stand near the edge and I'm going to throw Relena towards you." Heero replied as he stood near the very edge of the platform.
"Ok, we're ready Heero." Duo said as he and Quatre neared the edge too.
"Naughty naughty naughty!" Noin said as she walked towards the two with a gun in each hand, one pointing at each pilot.
"Too bad that you don't have any guns." Noin said smugly as she twirled a finger in her hand.
'bang!'
"But I do." Heero said as he blew on the top and tucked it into Relena's pocket.
"Duo catch Relena, Quatre get the control while she's still down, and she has my extra gun there, get it plus her's." Heero said as he tossed Relena to Duo and hoped that he would catch her, even though he didn't show it.
"Got her!" "Got it!" Duo exclaimed just as Quatre shouted too.
Quatre pressed the button and then fell to the ground dropping the control and both guns.
"Poor Mr. Winner, but he nor did Mr. Yuy know that I had more than one gun on hand." Noin said after she shot Quatre in the knee and the upper arm.
"Quatre!" exclaimed Duo as he put his blanket down and laid Relena on it.
"Don't worry Mr. Maxwell, you will soon be joining him in unconscienceness." As Noin shot Duo in the stomach. He shot back and got Noin in the arm, but she just flinched when the bullet hit her. She shot his leg, and he fell. Trying to stand up, but in the end just fell again.
"2 down, one more pilot to go." Noin said as she pointed the gun at Heero, how return pointed a gun at her.
"You still didn't give a main reason why you wanted to kill Relena." Heero mentioned.
"You want to know why I wanted her dead. You want to know why I wanted that stuck-up Peacecraft bitch dead. Because she changed Zechs. She never should have been born. If she weren't fucking born, she wouldn't be a fucking baby and run the fuck away! Because of her he was shot, because of her he was grieving for months about her absence, because of her he's a king and not a fighter anymore!" Yelled Noin who was crying now.
"She's going to have to pay for what she did to Zechs." Noin said Crazily as she pointed the gun at Heero and shot him in the leg. He too shot her on the waist. Noin screamed in agony and then took her gunshot it in the direction of Relena. Heero jumped in the way was hit in the chest. Noin kept on firing in her direction, but sometimes missed. The one's that weren't, Heero blocked the way till his shirt as drenched in blood. But Heero was also firing back, and sometimes hit Noin. Noin was about to shoot Heero in the head, but her gun was out of ammunition. Noin was so mad she took the gun and threw it at his head instead. Heero knew he only had one bullet left and pointed it at Noin's chest. He was about to fire but then he was pushed to the ground instead. Noin had taken a piece of glass and threw it at his leg, and he tripped on it when he was moving to go closer. Noin picked up the gun and pointed it at Heero's head.
All of a sudden a rang shot out and got Noin in the neck.
"No one calls me a fucking Peacecraft Princess, ever. And it's not my fault that he changed that he's not a fighter. Do you think I want to be killed? No!" Relena shouted as she shot Noin again, then bent down till she was eye to eye with her.
"I hope you burn in hell forever." Relena whispered into her ear as took a gun and pointed it towards her head.
"Boom" Relena whispered as she fell to the ground herself, and the gun rolled out of her hand.
The End
